How often does CapitalOne provide increases in credit limits? I just received my card this past weekend and my limit is now 300 dollars. I have used the card already I plan on sending them a payment this week.

$300 initial limit
90 days later $200 (total $500)
less than one year $2000 (total $2500)

This is the way my increase went.

Thank you Meya. I will stay on point with this card. Today I paid off my HSBC Cash or Fly with a 194.70 dollar payment and have a zero balance on that card. I also have a zero balance on Direct Rewards. Tommorow, I am going to send 20 dollars to First Premier so that I can have a zero balance on that card as well. Do you think that I should focus my credit utilization to the Capitalone card at this point so that I can build up a good relationship with them and get those nice credit limit increases. I have already made significant payments on my other three cards (even though they are fairly new accounts).

**Meya** · October 1st, 2007, 07:25 PM

Oh Yes, Make sure that you focus with them. I believe that my $2000 increase came from making purchases near the initial $500 limit and paying it off every month. I let them have a few months of finance charges per year by carrying a balance of course. Now I am pretty high with them, but will pay them off in December. All of my creiditors will be paid by Xmas because I am about to purchase an SUV and I dont want any of my cards in the way. Back to the debit card again for a while. I am in the process of freezing my accounts also so that I can not make any inquires to my report. Since I am addicted to appling for credit, I am going to apply for the heck of it because i know they will not get through. LMAO! God I am such a nut case.

Hey, by the way, you missed the meeting, it was so cool. I dont know when the next one is but I hope it is soon. The next time we have one, FG and NICK specifically asked for me to inivte my NEPHEW to BBQ for us. They love JUICY meat!

Thanks for this information. I didn't know Capital One offered such low interest and high credit limits. I applied for the Platinum Plus and was approved for 7.4% variable (quarterly).

Capital One® Platinum Plus

Quick Qestion FG! Just wondering if we could upgrade our capitlal one card or do you have to wait until they offer you a new card. I started with the $300 (needs improvement) card last year, and now I am at $2500. Can you have more than one Captital one credit card? HSBC refuse to offer me another card, they let me have Orcahrd and that is it.

Hi Meya,

If a card replacement is what you want because yours is damaged, just give them a call. If you are asking about upgrading rewards programs, a call should get you what you want as well.

I'm not sure about multiple cards with Capital One, I know most issuers allow this, Chase and AMEX specifically.

**Clifton** · October 5th, 2007, 06:28 AM

Meya, just to let you know that I have two HSBC cards: direct rewards and a HSBC Cash or Fly card. I think that the reason that they let me have two cards is due to the fact that I do my primary banking with HSBC.

**Clifton** · October 5th, 2007, 06:32 AM

Also guys, I received my "credit increase in 90 days" letter from CapitalOne.

I plan to stay on point with them.

about multiple cards with same bank, capital one told me on the phone that you CANT have more than one card with them. Dont know if this was specificaly for me or what, Now i had 3 with HSBC, Orchard bank gold, direct rewards discover and Best Buy gold mastercard. Paid off the orchard bank card in september and closed the account. did the same with the best buy, but the lady told me when i was closing the best buy account that that may affect my credit negatively since i opened it in april and closed it in sept.

**Meya** · October 10th, 2007, 10:31 PM

Thanks for the reply guys! I guess I will just make them sock drawers then.
:foot-in-mouth:
